Summary
Oxidative stress bioanalytical facility. The primary national benefit of this application is that it will provide a currently unavailable, state-of-the-art facility for Australian scientists to define precisely how changes in cellular redox state contribute to biological processes relevant to health and diseases. The facility will uniquely complement, and in many cases integrate with existing facilities in this area of research in Australia. It will act as a platform for major national and inter ....Oxidative stress bioanalytical facility. The primary national benefit of this application is that it will provide a currently unavailable, state-of-the-art facility for Australian scientists to define precisely how changes in cellular redox state contribute to biological processes relevant to health and diseases. The facility will uniquely complement, and in many cases integrate with existing facilities in this area of research in Australia. It will act as a platform for major national and international research collaborations, develop cutting-edge technology and unique local skills, and contribute to Australia maintaining a leading position in redox-related research in biology and medicine. In doing so, the facility will increase the likelihood of gaining future, value-adding funding.Read moreRead less

Summary
Examining lipid transport by direct visualisation and quantification. This project aims to investigate the least understood aspect of plasma triglyceride metabolism; mechanisms of transport across capillary endothelial cells. This transport regulates plasma triglyceride levels, which are an important factor in determining risk for coronary diseases. An improved understanding of these mechanisms will lead in the long term to better understandings of both heart failure and atherosclerotic heart di ....Examining lipid transport by direct visualisation and quantification.
